Abri is the definition of hero! She is SO strong, approaches everything with determination, she WONT give up! But I must say meeting this family they are ALL heros They sacrifice for eachother, all of them, to help eachother. Abri’s older sister left high school her sophomore year ad started online school so she could help with the family while Abri had her treatments. Never ever a regret from her, she did this for her sister, for her family. The amount of love the have for eachother and others is amazing. They ALL beat cancer together!
As a nursing student and serial medical volunteer I have seen A LOT of people fight some really tough battles. Let me just say that little miss Abri should be an example to everyone - no matter what their battle is. This girl has more will power, determination, strength, and grace than anyone I have ever seen. She has an amazing family standing behind her too. They ALL deserve this!
Abri is a SUPERHERO. I am amazed everyday how strong she is I draw strength every day from her. Nothing stops her She falls she gets back up..and flashes that big smile, .We as adults can learn from her, Abri and her family battled cancer together never giving up. I have never meet a more loving family devoted to each other. Her sister Ashlyn is a beautiful talented young lady who chose to school online to help her family during Abri treatment. Together they are stronger knowing while Abri has beat cancer, her life will never be the same. She chooses to fight for others afflicted with this horrible disease. Team Abri Foundation gives back with blessing bags for moms and children fighting the battle Abri did.
I haven’t met Abri yet, but I am looking forward to the day I do, and I feel certain I will some day. For now, she is simply an amazing girl and an I nspiration to others. One of those “others” is my little niece, Linnea who was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma last December. Linnea met Abri and her family at a local event here in Phoenix, and since then I have heard so many amazing stories about her, her sister and her parents. Their gift to others is their inspirational spirit, and I am so thankful for the love and light they share so generously to others, such as Linnea, who are now traveling that same path.
Abri we are all praying for you. God bless you. #teamabri
Abri inspires me all the way in England!! I’ve been following her since just after the Arg surgery-she’s been through many ups and downs - the one I recall most is the news she’d relapse, which was quickly confirmed as a mistake (thankfully!) but the photo of Abri and her sister showed the devastation of realising she was going to have to go through treatment all over again. Abri is old enough to have memories of how poorly treatment made her; and although the relief of a mis-relapse-diagnosis came, that experience is a reminder that the memories, the fear, the anxiety, and the possibility of relapse is always looming in the background. Abri has come so far since her Stumpy surgery - her family almost didn’t make it home from the hospital for Christmas last year; Abri was in her chair, unable to mobilise, but the whole family and community made the best of it, and now she is soaring!!! Abri even concord her 1st ride on an escalator this past week, she joined in with a Sports Day at school; she speaks out at events to raise awareness of her struggle with cancer and that of so many others. Whilst most of the world were getting into arguments over the latest presidential election Abri was making a direct plea to the President for more emphasis on funding research for Childhood Cancer..... Abri will go so far in life, and Ellen, you will want to keep up with her! She’s going to do great things. Keep going Abri!!!!!
